Franz-Anselm Viegener starts Viega Co. with first brass beer tap.
Viega starts manufacturing plumbing fittings.
The first PEX radiant floor heating in the U.S., the ProRadiant® system, is introduced.
Viega adds traps and draining products for sinks and bathtubs to our lineup.
Viega starts producing copper solder fittings.
Our heritage of innovation and quality
began in Attendorn, Germany in
1899 when Franz-Anselm Viegener
introduced a new design in brass
beer taps. By 1901, the company
evolved and began
manufacturing
home plumbing
products. But our story,
the North American
story, really began
in 1999, when the
family-owned Viega
decided to offer a selection of Viega
products in the United States.
Initial product offerings in the
United States consisted of PEX
radiant floor heating systems.
Soon after, we continued
to expand our U.S. product
offerings by introducing a totally
new system of ProPress fittings
and valves to
connect copper
pipe. The new
century saw rapid
growth in Viega innovations,
including PureFlow — the first
PEX press plumbing technology,
ProPressG for solderless fuel gas
applications, hybrid technology to
connect copper to PEX and the
Smart Connect feature to quickly
identify unpressed fittings.
A heritage of better ideas since 1899

The MANABLOC® water distribution manifold is introduced.
Viega’s press technology begins in Germany.
In 2005, Viega
acquired Vanguard
Piping Systems
and Midtec, Inc.
This acquisition enabled us
to combine European and
American technologies to create a
new standard of quality. Besides the
expanded options in PEX tubing and
fitting systems, the acquisition also
added the number one selling PEX
water distribution manifold in the
U.S., the MANABLOC to the Viega
PureFlow line.
The PureFlow
product line is
manufactured
in the most recent
North American investment,
our new 439,000 square foot
Manufacturing and Distribution
Center. This facility, which opened in
2009, is located in the heartland of the
U.S. in McPherson, KS. The facility
houses extrusion, injection molding,
distribution and office space. It is the
largest PEX manufacturing facility of
its kind in the nation.
From Franz-Anselm Viegener’s
first product introduction in 1899,
Viega’s family heritage of innovation,
quality and service still flows through
all of our products and the people
who design, make, sell and support
them. It is our heritage of better ideas
that allows us to extend our reach
to exceed customer expectations
around the globe.

Viega MANABLOC
Like a breaker-box for plumbing,
each fixture of the MANABLOC is fed
by its own flexible water distribution
line. It is a simple concept that
provides extra-ordinary performance.
Molded from PLS (Polysulfone)
plastic and tested to the
requirements of ASTM F877 and
certified by NSF International, the
MANABLOC is a perfect solution
for potable water applications.
Faster Hot Water Delivery
Because MANABLOC distribution
lines are dedicated to individual
fixtures, less water is flushed out
before hot water gets to the fixture.
This saves time, energy and
water when compared to a
traditional branch and main
plumbing system. This is a
great benefit to the homeowners.
Clean and Efficient Installation
There are no fumes from solvents
to contend with and no torches
required on site for installation.
Fewer Fittings
ViegaPEX tubing lines run directly
from the MANABLOC, around
obstacles, and to the fixture with
minimal fittings, so leaks and
call-backs are minimized.
Convenience
There’s no need to shut-off the
main water supply to your home
or struggle with hard-to-access
fixture shut-off valves. Simply
turn the individually labeled
shut-off valve located directly
on the MANABLOC.
Complete Coverage
It is no wonder why the
MANABLOC is the number one
selling PEX manifold in the U.S.
The MANABLOC 10-year warranty
covers replacement, property
damage and reasonable
repair costs.
8Viega 1-800-976-9819 www.viega.com
MINIBLOC PEX PressPEX Press MINIBLOCs provide a zone manifold for a variety of applications. MINIBLOCs use either 3/8" or 1/2" distribution lines.
ViegaPEX the superior tubing choice
Don’t let the competition fool you.
We pioneered the use of
professional grade PEX tubing
more than a generation ago.
Our ViegaPEX tubing is
high-density cross-linked
polyethylene tubing (PEX for short).
Although there are now many
choices in PEX tubing, ViegaPEX
offers advantages over other
tubing types:
More resistance to chlorine and UV radiation
ViegaPEX offers superior chlorine
resistance for continuously
recirculating applications, plus
excellent corrosion and freeze
resistance. ViegaPEX Ultra also
provides additional protection
against UV rays.
Better protection against algae and minerals
The light–blocking properties of
ViegaPEX tubing eliminate algae
growth and the high-density tubing
wall inhibits mineral buildup and
protects system components.
Exceeds the strictest plumbing standards
The tubing exceeds strict
ASTM International standards
in addition to Uniform Plumbing
Code (UPC) and International
Code Council (ICC) standards
for potable water systems.
It’s the professional’s choice
Cross-linked polyethylene produces
a strong, durable tubing ideal for hot
and cold potable water systems.
Compared to ordinary polyethylene
tubing (PE), cross-linked tubing has
a higher temperature resistance and
higher burst pressure.
Most comprehensive warranty in the business
The 10-year warranty on ViegaPEX
tubing and PureFlow fitting system
covers product replacement,
property damage and reasonable
repair costs. The warranty can
also be transferred to future
homeowners during the
10-year period.
9Viega 1-800-976-9819 www.viega.com
ViegaPEX and ViegaPEX Ultra
ViegaPEX and ViegaPEX Ultra
tubing is manufactured to ASTM
F876/F877 standards and listed to
ANSI/NSF Standards 14 and 61.
It is chlorine resistance rated for
both traditional and continuous
recirculation PEX 5006 (CL5)
applications. Both tubing types are
rated at 100 psi at 180°F and 160
psi at 73°F. ViegaPEX Ultra tubing
can handle up to 6 months UV
exposure without losing any of its
performance properties.
10Viega 1-800-976-9819 www.viega.com
Viega FostaPEX
Fosta stands for Form-Stable PEX, so
the piping will keep its shape after it is
bent. The flexibility of the PEX and the
form stability of the rigid aluminum
outer coating are combined to make
FostaPEX ideal for plumbers and
homeowners wanting a professional
looking installation. This makes
FostaPEX ideal for potable water
systems and radiant heating systems.
FostaPEX tubing has extended UV
resistance due to its fully dimensional
PEX core being protected by the
outer aluminum and PE layers.
11Viega 1-800-976-9819 www.viega.com
Branch installation
Parallel systems
A Parallel system uses a home run manifold, like the Viega MANABLOC.
With this type of installation the installer can potentially plumb a house
without fittings hidden inside walls. By installing the MANABLOC system
near the hot water source, tubing can be run directly to each fixture
without using additional fittings. A parallel system provides the lowest
pressure losses, as well as eliminates interference between fixtures.
Often each fixture can be fed with smaller diameter tubing, which is
easier and faster to install.
Branch and main systems
Branch and main plumbing systems are more commonly known as
conventional plumbing systems, or branch and tee systems. This type
of system does not use the MANABLOC. Instead, this system uses a
large diameter “main” supply line for the hot and cold water supplies
within the structure, with smaller “branch” lines teeing off the main lines
to supply each fixture. While this system can reduce the amount of
tubing used, it requires more fittings, which can increase installation time
and cost. ViegaPEX or ViegaPEX Ultra tubing can be used for this type
of installation.
Combination systems
A combination system uses multiple manifolds combined with a branch
and main type of supply system. Combination systems use small manifolds
located throughout a structure placed near each main fixture group and are
supplied by the main hot and cold water supply lines. For this installation,
Viega offers the MINIBLOC. The MINIBLOC branches multiple ViegaPEX or
ViegaPEX Ultra tubing lines from a common location in lieu of using multiple
tee fittings spread throughout the structure. This helps keep hidden fittings
to a minimum.

Don’t let new lead-free legislation*
in California or Vermont set you
back. A large majority of our potable
water products already meet the
upcoming 2010 lead requirements.
All of our PEX tubing, PolyAlloy
insert fittings, MANABLOC and
MINIBLOC meet the approaching
lead requirements.
Thanks to Viega, plumbers across
the country have already been
installing 100% lead-free water
delivery systems for over 30 years.
When installing a Viega MANABLOC
parallel water distribution manifold
with PolyAlloy fittings and ViegaPEX
tubing, the system is completely
lead-free.
Bronze PEX Press fittings and
MANABLOC Press connections
will now be produced from a lead-
free bronze. Zero Lead PEX Press
fittings have also been introduced
with attached stainless steel sleeves
and color-coded tool locator rings.
These fittings are Zero Lead, tested
and listed for use in potable water
applications, radiant systems and
residential fire sprinkler installations.**
New Zero Lead fittings, will be
offered to replace the Viega
products that do not comply with
new lead-free requirements. The
Zero Lead fittings are a lead-free,
environmentally friendly fitting
alternative to our current bronze
press fitting offerings.
With excellent dezincification and
corrosion resistance, our Zero Lead
fittings and accessories will contain
appropriate markings to clearly
indicate the fittings are Zero Lead.
These new fittings will be certified
to ANSI/NSF Standard 61 Annex
G and will be fully compliant with
new lead-free legislation. Once
again, we are outperforming our
competition by offering a full line
of zero lead metal press fittings.
We will continue to add Zero Lead
products to the PureFlow product
line to meet the market’s need
and to comply with upcoming
legislation changes.
Zero Lead … Zero Problem
* Beginning January 1, 2010, California and Vermont will limit the lead content of plumbing fixtures and fitting products to a maximum weighted average of 0.25%.

It is one thing for a company to say
it supports Green Building initiatives,
it is another to provide the products
needed to support those initiatives.
At Viega, actions speak volumes.
Viega’s PureFlow plumbing systems
can be incorporated to improve
both water and energy efficiency
helping installers and homeowners
gain credits towards a LEED
certification level (when following
LEED installation criteria).
When the Viega MANABLOC is
placed in close proximity to a water
heater, and the distribution lines to
the fixtures are kept within
20 – 30 feet, hot water demand
is drastically reduced, thus
reducing overall energy use. Since
less water is required to purge the
line, water waste can be reduced
up to 40%. Proper installation of
the Viega MANABLOC can qualify
you for credits towards LEED
certification as outlined in LEED
for Homes.
Did you know?
The Davis Energy Group conducted
an independent study using
a Viega MANABLOC in place
of a conventional plumbing system
and proved a family of four can
save 2,600 gallons of hot water
a year with a MANABLOC system.
Our PureFlow Press Systems also
reduce the need for flames, solder
or flux. There are no fumes from
solvents to contend with and
no torches required on site for
installation. This creates a safer
work environment, improves the
quality of our environment.

Green Projects in Action
On May 4, 2007, a devastating EF-5 tornado destroyed 95 percent of
the buildings in Greensburg, KS. On Aug. 7, 2008, Viega announced it
would help with rebuilding efforts by donating a MANABLOC homerun
water distribution system, complete with ViegaPEX tubing and
ViegaPEX Press fittings, for every home being rebuilt in Greensburg
and the surrounding area. The Viega donation of $300,000 worth of
plumbing products to tornado-ravaged Greensburg residents will
supply hot and cold water for a typical 1,200 square-foot home.

All Viega PureFlow PEX Press
products are produced at our
own manufacturing plants or
supplied exclusively by the
finest quality manufacturers.
But at Viega, we go beyond
manufacturing products. We
create system solutions!
We have found a way to capitalize
on the unique properties of copper
and PEX by combining two of
our already proven systems –
ProPress copper and PureFlow
PEX Press fittings with ViegaPEX
tubing. We call this combination
Viega hybrid technology. Together,
We offer systems that meet the highest industry standards
20Viega 1-800-976-9819 www.viega.com
the two systems improve efficiency
and capitalize on the unique
properties of each material.
Forward-thinking plumbing and
mechanical contractors are
increasingly installing combined
copper and PEX systems, like Viega
hybrid technology. John W. Danforth
Company is the perfect
example of such forward-
thinking behavior.
In 2007, John W. Danforth
Company took on
the enormous task of
constructing the 139-room Stowe
Mountain Lodge in Stowe, Vermont.
With an assortment of architectural
layouts, Danforth elected to utilize
Viega hybrid technology to speed
construction progress. Kevin
Schedlbauer, Project Engineer,
attested to the speed of the Viega
hybrid system by saying, “Viega
technology is progressive... the
hybrid system saved us more than
half our time.”
Whether it is a luxury hotel,
apartment complex or multi-family
home, Viega hybrid technology
allows contractors to
reduce installation time
and improve reliability
all while installing
the highest quality
plumbing products.
The Viega hybrid system, just as
all of our systems, was developed
in-house and tested under stringent
quality control conditions. This is
another reason why working with
Viega is the perfect solution.

Myths and Facts for the homeowner
MYTH: Home sprinklers
are expensive.
FACT: Home fire sprinklers are
affordable. The Fire Protection
Research Foundation recently
issued the Home Fire Sprinkler
Cost Assessment report, which
revealed that the cost of installing
home fire sprinklers averages
$1.61 per square foot of new
construction (average cost includes
system design, installation, permits,
additional equipment, meter tap
and fees). To put the cost of a
sprinkler system into perspective,
many people pay similar amounts
for carpet upgrades, a paving stone
driveway, or a whirlpool bath.
MYTH: When a fire occurs, every
sprinkler will activate and everything
in the house will be ruined.
FACT: Only the sprinkler closest to
the fire will activate, spraying water
directly on the fire leaving the rest
of the house dry and secure. Fire
hoses, on average, use more than
8 1/2 times the water that sprinklers
do to contain a fire.
